Omonia Nicosia vs. Kairat Almaty

These teams met in September in the opening round of the Conference League and played to a 0-0 scoreless DRAW. Omonia Nicosia focuses on defense and keeping games close, outscoring Cyprus First Division foes by an 11-7 count through 10 matches. That defense is tied for second-best in the league while the offense is tied with the third-fewest goals scored. Omonia Nicosia comes off a 1-0 shutout of AEL, and 11 of their last 18 have gone UNDER 2.5 goals. In addition, 16 of their last 22 home games have sailed UNDER 2.5. Kairat Almaty is also outstanding defensively, allowing 21 goals in 26 Kazakhstan Premier League matches, the second-fewest surrendered. They haven't allowed a single goal in three straight road games, and this shapes up as a battle with far more defense than offense. Play this match to stay UNDER the total.
